Anitvirus deleted the Screensaver

[photolady07]

This morning I walked away from my computer. When I came back My AVG antivirus said that it had detected a threat. I clicked on quarantine and it revealed it was Yo Window Screen saver. I thought maybe that someone had attacked the computer through Yo Window. AVG instructed me to restart my Computer. When my computer was fully restarted Yo Window was still installed but the Screensaver was completely gone! I Installed both Yo Window and AVG the same day i purchased this laptop over a Month an a half ago and until to day there has NEVER been a conflict. Can you explain what may have happened and what action I should take?

Hi Jennifer,

I think your question has to be asked to AVG.
Goodluck.

In order to prevent this from happening again you should do the following...

In AVG...open the user interface and go to 'Extra' and choose 'Advanced Options'...

In the 'Resident Shield' options add the Windows\yowindow.scr file - which is located on your system drive-letter - to the excluded items list...

Hey, Jennifer!
I have no idea what went wrong with AVG.
It could happen that YoWindow screensaver was infected by a virus directly on your computer.
If you have downloaded YoWindow from yowindow.com or from download.com you must be safe.
